Boldly Printed Fr. 181

Fr. 181 $100 1880 Legal Tender PCGS Very Fine 20.
The most recent comparably graded Fr. 181 to sell was a PMG 20 that
we sold as part of the Flynn Collection in April of 2008--that note
realized $12,650. Only 45 Fr. 181s are known--about half of which
grade lower than this solid Very Fine. This stately $100 Legal is
beautifully centered on both sides, and has retained particularly
bold ink color for a Very Fine 20 note. Fr. 181 is the most common
of the 1880 $100 Legals making this piece ideal to represent the
type.
